The Institute’s anti-Semitism study was jointly funded and split across two coasts.
Evidence
In talks between Pollock, Lowenthal and Rosenblum, the following points, among others, were agreed: 1 The two sides would participate in the project, which had a one-year time limitApril 1943 to April 1944to the amount of $10,000 each. 2 European events would be taken into account. 3 Research in the narrower sense would concentrate on two main areas: (a)
The totalitarian type and its political functions'. This part was to be carried out in New York with Pollock as director, Robert MacIver (who took over from Lynd, who had too much other work) as co-director, and Leo Lowenthal, Paul Massing, Arkady Gurland and others as assistants. (b)Psychological research’. This study was to be done on the west coast under Horkheimer’s direction, with assistance from Adorno and others. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 380
